Creative Sessions: A New Set of Educational Posts Every Month

We're very passionate about teaching creative skills here at Tuts+, so over the last year we've been planning a new stream of educational content focused on the "Why?" instead of the "How". Today we're unveiling the newest addition to the Tuts+ family: Creative Sessions.

Every month we'll be running a two week 'Session' on a creative topic. Our first Session, beginning today, is on Character Illustration, and future Sessions will be on varied topics like interface design, illustrative typography and creative freelancing. Unlike regular Tuts+ content, Sessions content is more theoretical, opinion based and will often cross many disciplines.

Sessions is a bit of a new take on teaching online and is one we hope will be really successful. It's going to really take advantage of the increasing diversity of our Tuts+ network, meaning that for example we could have a session on web design that might have a 'freelance web design' post on FreelanceSwitch, a 'build a web design' post on Nettuts+, a 'optimize a web design for the iphone' on the upcoming Mobiletuts+ and much more!

Because it's so new, you can expect to see us tweak and improve the model over the next year or so. The content is all free, and like the rest of Tuts+ will remain so. At some point we'll investigate adding either a bit of premium content to each Session or possibly extended courses for subscribers to help pay for it all!

Finally each Session will feature cover artwork by a talented designer or illustrator. The artwork will be downloadable as a wallpaper and will help give each of our Sessions a bit of personality!
